Most cadet colleges in Pakistan open registration for the 2027 entry session between December 2026 and January 2027, and each college's admission last date is set by its own notice — none is announced yet, and this page says so rather than guessing. Registration windows are short — often 3 to 6 weeks — and a missed window means waiting a full year. This page gives you the typical window for every college we cover, plus what to prepare so a short window is never the reason you miss one.
When does each college open registration?
Prepare the file before the window opens. Documents, the six application steps, every verified official portal and a test-day list — on one printable sheet.
Open the 2027 checklist →Exact 2027 dates: not announced yet on any notice we verify — and we are watching. Since 2026-11-02 an automated watcher re-fetches every official admission page listed below four times a day. The moment a college's notice changes, it is read by a person and the confirmed date is published here the same day, with the official source linked — never a date without a source.
The 2027 dates below are expected windows based on each college's historical pattern — most colleges have run their admission cycle in the same months for years. Colleges announce exact dates through their own admission notices, which override anything on this page. Click through to each college's page for its entry test pattern and how to prepare.

Sadiq Public School and Chand Bagh School publish no admission-test dates on their own pages yet — confirm schedules with each school's admission office (their official pages are linked from the colleges directory). These dates are quoted from each school's own live page at the checked dates above; the schools' notices remain the final word.
How do you actually apply?
The window is one thing; the application itself is another. The full process — documents, the entry test, the interview — walks through in the how-to-apply guide, which also links every college's official application page or portal, each one opened and verified before it was listed. Apply only through the college's own channel — never an agent.
What to prepare before the window opens
Because every window is short, the families who get seats are the ones whose paperwork was ready in November. Before December:
- Student's B-Form or birth certificate (and two photocopies)
- School progress reports for the last two years
- Recent passport-size photographs
- Parent/guardian CNIC copy
- A decided target: Class 7 entry, Class 8, or both
How do we verify the exact date for our college?
Each college publishes an official admission notice — on its website, in national newspaper, or on its notice board — announcing the exact registration open and close dates for the year. Treat this page as your preparation calendar and the college's notice as the final word. If a college's notice contradicts the expected window here, the notice wins every time.
Mechanically, this works because our watcher re-fetches every official page in the table above four times a day (2026-11-02 onward), compares each read with the previous one, and flags any real change for a human the same day. It is polite (rate-limited, honours the sites' robots files) and it never publishes a date itself — a person reads the changed notice first, and only a confirmed date with its official source link appears on this page.
What happens after registration closes?
After the window closes, colleges issue admit cards, then hold the written entry test (typically a 200-mark paper — see the CCH syllabus breakdown for the pattern), followed by interviews and medicals. Start preparation before registration opens, not after — the 3-month study plan is built to finish exactly as the tests begin.
Frequently asked questions
When do cadet college registrations open for the 2027 session?
Most cadet colleges open registration between December 2026 and January 2027 for the session starting August 2027. Exact dates come from each college's own admission notice — prepare early using the typical window, then verify.
What documents should we prepare before registration opens?
B-Form or birth certificate, two years of school reports, passport photos, and a parent's CNIC copy — all before December. Windows are short and incomplete forms are commonly rejected without reopening.
Can my child apply to more than one cadet college?
Yes. Windows overlap across colleges, so applying to several in one season is common — one preparation plan covers the shared test pattern, and students take the best offer.
How strict is the last date — can we submit a late form?
Treat each college's last date as hard. Colleges commonly reject late or incomplete forms without reopening, and popular colleges rarely extend. Use the typical December–January window to prepare the documents early, then verify the exact date on your target college's own admission notice — the table above links to each college's page.
Start preparing while the window is closed
Registration is the easy part — the entry test is the filter. Practice the real pattern free: take the 10-question diagnostic or the daily quiz.
